Highlights of this year’s releases include the bizarre 22 minute rap-rave mish-mash of Death Grip’s ‘Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Mix),’ as well as a limited version of the classic Bob Dylan LP Blood On The Tracks: Original Test Pressing. There’s also a packed live album from Jeff Buckley, a 7″ featuring two T.Rex covers performed by Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a brand new Courtney Barnett song titled ‘Everybody Here Hates You,’ and plenty more.
